Cervidil vs Pitocin
 | Cervidil |  | Pitocin |  |
| This medication is used to help prepare your cervix (the lower opening of the womb) for labor and delivery. It is used in women who are having a normal pregnancy and who are at or near their delivery due date. Dinoprostone is a natural substance that your body makes in preparation for labor. It relaxes and softens your cervix (cervical ripening) to allow the baby to pass through the birth canal during delivery. | Consult your pharmacist. | |||

| Add Cervidil review We ended up with a c-section anyway. Im sure it doesnt work on all. It seems the baby has outbursts almost every night around the time of cervidil use. He is now 3yrs old. Post traumatic stress or coincidence? Would not recommend. I was given this to "ripen" my cervix for my first time pregnancy. I was hyper responsive to it and I too could not urinate. At the time I was also given Ambien to help me sleep, but the combination just made me hyper and groggy. I am very sensitive to all medications. The Cervidil was removed 5 hours later and my cervix never did get to the stage need to begin labor. The ease of the medication was great, it was just that I was not ready. | Add Pitocin review after use of this medication i was sent home and came back the next day to find out my baby had passed away....after she was perfectly fine!!! 10 years ago on my due date, I was given pitocin before I had dilated to 2 cm and only 1 hour after water breakage. 16 hours later on pitocin, no labor and only dilated to barely 4 cm...pitocin stopped my labor completely! | |||
